MacTryer Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hello guy, i've tried to install the OSX iAtKOS version on my PC. As in some videotutorials i made in WinXP a new partition (no ntfs!) on an extra internal HDD, so i did not make a partition on my win-HDD as in the tutorial, but a complete seperate disc. I then shut down my system , unplug my system-HDD. So there is only the empty one running (i'm just scared that this Mac stuff is destroying my Win-System. The DVD boots and i type F8 and then -v and here it stops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmar Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I have the same problem. I was trying kalyway first which installed fine but after the first reboot it just hang up so I tried iAtkos but I dont even get to the installation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacTryer Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 i hope someone tells us what to do ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poco Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Try Leo4All. Or if you have SSE2 wait for JaS' release because he is working hard on SSE2 compatibility. Post your specs. iPoco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacTryer Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 i'll try to search for this "leo4all" Specs: MoBo: MSI P35 NEO 2 CPU: Core2Duo 8200 Ram: 4Gig DDR2 800 Sata HDD Graphics: GF 8800GT 512mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmar Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Very nice, you have the same Mainboard. I have: MB: MSI P35 Neo2 FR CPU: Intel E2180 @ 3600Mhz GPU: GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB 4 GB DDR2 @ 1000Mhz SATA HDD and DVD Writer The strange thing ist, that OSX86 seems to run perfectly on Gigabyte DS3 and ASUS P5K- Both are also P35 Chipsets...I have downloaded Leo4all and I am going to install it now, if I can get it to work. Regards Valmar P.S.: Kalyway didnt install with the latest official BIOS 1.80 With the beta BIOS 1.96b the installation worked, but it freezes at the first reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacTryer Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 God damn it! :-) every one told me i should buy the DS3, for my win platform this spring.... but i went with the MSI.... had some problems, but that's just perfect, that OSX86 wont work... please tell my how it went! maybe there is a modded firmware out there for the MSI....

MacTryer Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 well iv'e tried nearly every combination of preferences... the setup doesn't find the root device. I also found an IDE HDD.... didn'T work either.... any suggestions? P.S.: I've tried the iatkos DVD on my Sony Vaio: it went flawless :-) at least nearly. I was able to install it. Leopard runs (but i didn't find the right drivers for the networkcard, soundcard, and graphics (is there a way to update/change them after the iatkos installation?))

Valmar Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I just downloaded the bios file and now I am trying to install kalyway again. But I guess I get stuck again at the same spot "Using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer header". Always happened to me no matter which distri I used. cpus=1 and -x -v -f and such stuff didnt work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
